“The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is ‘doing’ his ‘English prep’ and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all.” ? C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

Educational Corruption abounds. Ergo, Gonzaga University in Spokane Washington. What is Gonzaga University? A visit to Gonzaga’s website reveals a college like so many others, wrapped in themes of tolerance and diversity…in other words, its the same as any other…Liberal and left-wing, progressive, long ago abandoning its Roman Catholic Jesuit roots.

That would be NH State Senators Sharon Carson, Russell Prescott, and Dave Boutin (Republicans).  I guess the folks behind the leaflets are a bit unhappy that their taxes (remember, just because it may be “free money” to the State, it still means we New Hampshirites are paying for it – but politicians love the sound of “free money” and thinking that we’d actually believe that fairy tale when they throw the pixie dust into the air).  Here’s the one for Senator Carson (I imagine that Senator Prescott’s and Boutin’s were similarly configured.

Since just before the HealthCare.gov faceplanted just out of the starting gate, there’s been an on-going debate about the split or supposed split in the GOP, where you have the TEA Party or “hard line conservatives” on one side and the establishment or moderates on the other (for clarity, I’ll lump these two latter groups in the “establishment” bucket for this post). The argument whirling around the blogosphere and media punditry claims the chasm is exaggerated and that the factions are closer than is reported. The reason, some say, is that core principles are shared between the two groups and that they simply disagree on tactics and strategy.

That may well be so for some, but not for me.

As the cliche goes, there’s something rancid in the deviled eggs…or something with a devil.  There’s something treacherous and gut churning that lurks amongst the wispy curls of the establishment’s black and sordid rhetoric that forces the bowels of the naive and the hopeful to evacuate involuntarily and in an untimely manner after witnessing another beat down the conservatives take after ingesting establishment promises.  (See that’s where the rancid deviled eggs come in– whew, I’m surprised I got that to work!)

The chasm does indeed exist. And at its core, for me, is trust and tangible results. Tactics be damned.

After all, led by those that were once vociferously FOR Obamacare (and if not vociferous, certainly smarmy Schoolmarmish in the case of one of them), those Democrat women are now AGAINST it (funny, neither of look or sound like “Lurch” Kerry even after he’s plumped up his facial features).  And in opposing Obamacare for the BEST of reasons (er, protecting their Collective Democrat backsides), aren’t they continuing the #WarOnWomen – denying them their contraceptives for reasons Grokster Steve pointed out oh so very well:

What do you call it when you exchange women and sex for money?  ObamaCare!

Guy in an Obama or SEIU shirt walks up to you on the street.  “Hey man.  You interested in a woman who signed up for ObamaCare?  She’s got her free birth control?”

Seriously, I cannot believe how fast Obamacare is dying politically.  Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and other conservatives risked their careers in doing the right thing in trying to see it defunded and Democrats were howling about how they wanted to wreck death and destruction and now?  Now Democrats like the NH Dem Female Trio (let’s not forget uber-Progressive Annie Kuster) are running just as fast or faster to put in measures that will keep putting off the Obamacare from being further implemented.  Cruz wanted to defund it – against all odds and the odds won. But now??

The left, particularly the far left, knows nothing about Conservatives because most of them do not know any. None of their friends, none of the people they work with, no one they hang out with or talk to, is anything but an ideological duplicate of themselves. Yes, they might mingle with people on the right, but the correct terms for that are troll, tracker, and stalker.

As evidence of this, let me offer an example.

Reminder: “So, I help to elect Democrats, eh?” (thank you, Mark Sanborn).  To recap:

WHY IS THE GOP / NH GOP IN TROUBLE?

Let’s get to the Nitty Gritty of this “discussion”: There is a tremendous split in the Republican Party – and especially in the NH GOP. And for three extremely binary reason – each this or that and never the twain they’ll meet.

1. Don’t Talk About it

2. Two Types of Republicans

So I rolled into those ‘two” philosophies:

3. Two sets of Political Philosophy (or Three – the clueless)

Why?  The core problem.  We’re about to go deep here.

What are the philosophies of each of those two groups?

There are two countervaling philosophies at play here, at the voting level and at the basic philosophy level and with neither, there is no coming together – they are orthagonal in nature and there is no “uniting” at all:

To the first, voting level – a split in attitude of High vs Low (like churches):

ProgressNow (Minnesota Based), the self-admitted progressive (see also socialist) political action group in America (see also left-wing non-profit), whose goal is to advance the Progressive (see also socialist) agenda in every state they put their big progressive toe in,  is the ATM behind Out of state based GraniteState Progress in New Hampshire.

ProgressNow is also the ATM behind ProgressNow Colorado, which recently released this ad in support of ObamaCare.

The new ad shows a woman holding a packet of birth control pills, while a suave-looking young man stands next to her with his arm around her waist. 

The caption reads: “OMG, he’s hot! Let’s hope he’s as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers.”

Are all Democrat women sex-starved creatures desperate to acquire satisfaction?  Have you considered having sex with a Conservative?   You know, a real man?
